LOCATION 



THE WORLD'S GREATEST RESORT 



^TLANTIC CITY is the World's premier pleasure and health resort. Taken all the year around it has no 

g^L equal anywhere. Some European resorts rival it for a limited Summer or Winter season, but none 

/ ^k compares in popularity, comfort, pleasure and health-giving qualities the four seasons through. On an 

r^^^^^ island ten miles in length and less than a mile in width, extending nearly 

^ ^- due East and West, separated from the mainland by seven miles of salt 

bays and meadows, Atlantic City faces the South. The prevailing Southwest breeze of 

Summer comes to it cooled by the Ocean, while in Winter its Southern exposure and 

proximity to the Gulf Stream and the protection of the Jersey pine belt insure an equable climate several degrees 

warmer than the nearby cities of New York and Philadelphia. 

A comparison of average temperatures only suggests the substantial difference between the Summer temperature 
at Atlantic City and that which prevails in the great centers of population. Water in every direction and continuous 
Ocean breezes make impossible the extremes common elsewhere. In confirmation of this the following data from the 
United States Weather Bureau show that during the last thirty years Atlantic City has had an average of ONLY 
TWO DAYS in each year on which the temperature ran 90 degrees, while there were 31 
such days in St. Louis, 25 in Cincinnati, 21 in Washington, 18 in Pittsburgh and 13 in 
Philadelphia. The same is also true as to the Winter temperature. The sweep of the 
Gulf Stream toward Atlantic City and the reflection from the Ocean to the land of the 
sun's rays, together with the modifying effect of the surrounding salt water, keep up the average temperature and 
make the snowfall very light. These influences, combined with the salt in the air quickly melt the snow that does fall. 
The extremely low temperatures of some of our large cities do not occur here. There have been but five days in ten 
years in which the temperature has been zero or below in Atlantic City. There were 102 such days in Chicago, 26 in 
St. Louis, 24 in Pittsburgh, 23 in Cincinnati and 21 in Boston. The average percentage of sunshine over the United

HOTELS 



States is about 50 per cent. In Atlantic City the annual average is 61 per cent. There are no rivers or other large 
bodies of fresh water near Atlantic City and consequently its climate is dry, the air is pure, and there is an almost entire 
absence of fog. These remarkable climatic conditions bring to Atlantic City an all-the-year-around patronage, which 
has developed the largest and most interesting City in the World exclusively devoted to the entertainment of the 
public. 

Atlantic City is a city of hotels, cottages and shops. Its sole business is to give comfort, health and pleasure to the 
people who come from all over the World. On every day of the year, guests are accommodated with the comfort and 
elegance of the best metropolitan hotels, as well as the most varied facilities for recreation and amusement. The prominent 
hotels possess every modern convenience and luxury. They are handsome structures built for all-the-year service. Some 
have cost several millions of dollars. The newer ones represent the latest ideas in fireproof 
construction. Many of the hotels have their own water supply from artesian wells 840 
feet deep. All have complete electric and refrigerating plants. Long distance telephones 
are to be found in the bedrooms of the largest houses. Sun Parlors are a feature of 
almost every hotel. The public and private bathrooms are in most cases supplied with hot and cold sea water, as well as 
hot and cold fresh water, enabling guests to secure the benefits of sea water in their own apartments without reference to 
either time or tide. The moderate and low-priced houses supply accommodations of superior excellence for the price 
charged. Many of them are open all the year around. 

The cottages in Atlantic City are adapted to every need and taste. Many are substantially built structures for 
Winter as well as Summer use, and may be rented fully furnished. From the more modest cottages renting at a few 
hundred dollars a season, they range to the most complete private homes, possessing every 
convenience and paralleling the hotels in comfort and luxury. Some of the newer ones 
have numerous bathrooms with both sea and fresh water, intercommunicating long distance 
telephones, fireproof garages, as well as all the conveniences of the modern city mansion. 
Many prominent people from Philadelphia, New York and elsewhere come to reside all or part of the year and enjoy 
the hotel and cottage life of Atlantic City.

THE CITY 



Atlantic City is one of the most interesting places in America, not only because as an all-the-year-around resort 
it enjoys a practically never-ending season, but also because it is a city of importance 
among the municipalities of the New World. Its public buildings are handsome. Its 
mercantile interests are numerous. It schools and other institutions are large, modern 
and well managed. Its paid fire department is well equipped. All its streets are excel- 
lently paved, most with asphalt, bithulithic, brick and wooden block, which are kept clean and in good repair. It is, 
withal, a most desirable place in which to live. 

In order still further to enhance its attractiveness a general plan is being made to which the future public works of 
Atlantic City may conform. The preparation of the plan is in charge of a committee of prominent citizens. The 
City has retained Messrs. Carrere & Hastings, of New York, as expert advisers upon the architectural features of the 
work. The plans as outlined include an improved Boardwalk and approaches, a civic center, about which shall be 
grouped the chief municipal structures, enlarged railroad terminals and the abolition of 
all grade crossings, additional boulevards and parks, and many other important improve- 
ments. Electric light standards, equal or superior to any in use on this side of the 
Atlantic, have already, in accordance with these plans, been placed on the City's main 
street at a cost of more than one thousand dollars a block, and the same system of illumination will be gradually 
extended into other portions of the City. A splendid entrance to the City for automobiles and other vehicles in 
accordance with these plans has been made at Albany Avenue. The purchase of the large tract of land at the Inlet for 
the Inlet Park, shown on the City Beautiful plan, is under way. 

The superior train service to Atlantic City contributes to the comfort, pleasure and safety of the occasional visitor, 
as well as the necessity for daily travel of the business man who brings his family for one or more of the several seasons. 
There are direct trains between Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburgh. The double-track road- 
beds of the Pennsylvania and Reading systems are level, well ballasted with stone, and protected by the best types of 
automatic block signals. The completion of the Pennsylvania tunnels under the Hudson River affords direct service 
from Broadway to the Boardwalk. The twenty-five miles between Winslow and Absecon form one of the best

TRAINS 



constructed and longest stretches of absolutely straight track in the World. The rolling 
stock is of the latest and strongest patterns. The motive power is unequalled, as is 
demonstrated by the fact that the fastest train and the fastest nine trains in the World 
run to and from Atlantic City. Of the sixteen trains in the World running on their regular 

published schedule at sixty miles per hour or faster, thirteen are in the Atlantic City service, as may be seen from 

the following table:

BOARDWALK 



Visitors find that the most distinctive feature of Atlantic City is the Boardwalk. It now extends eight miles 
along the Beach, with a practically unobstructed ocean view. In its central portion it is sixty feet wide; throughout 
much of its length it is forty, and at no point is it less than twenty feet wide. It is a substantial structure erected 
from ten to fifteen feet above the strand upon massive piling at a cost of half a million dollars. It is brilliantly 
lighted every evening in the year by many thousands of incandescent electric lamps. It 
is well patronized at all times, but in July, August and September it is thronged. In 
February, March and April a multitude from all parts of the world finds on the Board- 
walk an early Spring and relief from the snow and slush of the cities. May and October 
are every year becoming more popular. Many important National Conventions meet in Atlantic City in June. The 
Easter Sunday Parade is made up of more than one hundred thousand people dressed in the newest styles and is a 
social pageant of surpassing interest not to be found in any other part of the World. 

Next to the Ocean View and the promenaders, the shops and the Rolling Chairs are the prominent features of the 
Boardwalk. Visitors, regardless of age, health and sex are patrons of these chairs, which 
are open for the bright warm days in the Spring and Autumn, and shaded for the Summer 
season, while for convalescents they are enclosed in glass, so that at no time is one obliged 
to forego his daily rides. The chair of the invalid guest may be rolled from his room 
into the elevator and out upon the Walk. 

Along the Land side of the Boardwalk the shops not only act as a shelter from the occasional North winds, but 
are one of its chief charms. Armenia and Syria, China and Japan, Hawaii and Mexico, Egypt and Turkey, India 
and Persia, Italy and Scandinavia, Paris and London, are each represented by one or more 
shops exclusively devoted to its rarest importations. In addition to these are as many 
more in which are displayed the best creations of American artisans. The shop windows 
and the Auction Sales attract the connoisseur and entertain the stroller. In addition to 
the Boardwalk shops there are many excellent stores of a general character in the center of the city for the visitor and 
resident.

PIERS 



The Casino, facing the Boardwalk, and a City Park, is a recognized center of social life. Every morning and 
evening during Autumn, Winter and Spring, concerts are given by a metropolitan orchestra. 

Extending seaward from the Boardwalk are five great Ocean Piers — in all the World the greatest series of Piers 
devoted exclusively to recreation. Nowhere will builders and engineers find more interesting examples of steel and 
concrete work than in these famous structures. Concerts by noted bands, theatres, net hauls, bowling and other amuse- 
ments, interesting in themselves, have added zest when enjoyed over the Ocean. Atlantic City enjoys the premier 
production of many leading plays because of the excellence of its theatres and the 
cosmopolitan character of its audiences. Along the Boardwalk are play-houses, auction 
sales and many other forms of entertainment. Anyone can find endless diversion in 
Atlantic City. The saunterer is led on by the bracing air and the resiliency of the Board- 
walk, the allurements of the Ocean, the shops, the amusements and the joys of mingling with the pleasure seekers, to 
walk, until he finally returns with keen appetite and mind refreshed. The high-grade restaurants on the Boardwalk are 
not excelled anywhere in service. They cater all the year round in the most satisfactory manner to theatre parties 
and those who desire to dine out. The Boardwalk of Atlantic City is THE PROMENADE of America. 

The Bathing Beach is the most perfect on the Atlantic Coast. Fifty thousand bathers are often seen in the 
surf at one time in the Summer months. For the protection of this multitude, Atlantic 
City maintains a municipal beach patrol of sixty-four trained men, equipped with boats 
and other apparatus and under the direction of an experienced surgeon. There is but 
little demand for their assistance for the Beach shelves off very gradually and there are 
no dangerous holes or cross currents. Life lines are unnecessary. 

The smooth bays and thoroughfares lying between Absecon Island and the Mainland are ideal for small sail and 
power boats, and for sailing and crabbing, while in a few minutes the larger yachts can 
find unlimited opportunity on the Ocean. The various Yacht Clubs are the head- 
quarters throughout the year for many private craft owned by visitors and residents.

HORSE SHOW 



accommodates the public either individually or in parties at moderate prices. The Absecon Lighthouse, the life-saving 
drills by the United States Coast Guards, and the manoeuvres of the fishing and oyster fleets are other interesting 
marine features. 

The Atlantic City Horse Show, held annually at Easter time, is one of the 
recognized social events of the country. Many of the finest horses in the United States 
are entered in competition. Its location on an Ocean Pier is unique as well as ideal, 
for an indoor show. Many of the leading stables of the country compete. 

The Spring and Autumn Golf Tournaments at the Country Club bring together the best players from the 
Middle Atlantic States. Mr. Walter J. Travis won the Amateur Championship on this 
course in September, 1901. The Annual Championship of the Woman's Eastern Golf 
Association was played here in 1907. Golf is played all the year round on these splendid 
links. During the past year the course has been improved by additional traps and 
bunkers. There are eighteen holes with a playing length of 6,016 yards. 

The Aviation Week of July, 1910, set a new standard for exploits in the air. A World's altitude record was 
made by Brookins. On October 15th of the same year Wellman and Vaniman left 
Atlantic City in the airship "America" for their memorable and record-breaking voyage 
of 1,008 miles over the ocean. This effort was the first serious attempt to cross from one 
continent to the other in the air.

AVIATION 



New Jersey is famous among automobilists for its good roads, none of which are more used by them than those 
which lead from New York and Philadelphia to the splendid Boulevard across the 
meadows to Atlantic City. The garage accommodations in Atlantic City are of unusual 
excellence. The paved streets, the Speedway and the Boulevard afford ample opportunity 
for riding and driving.

BEACH 



WATER 



The marvelous sand forts of the children defy the hopes of the advocates of universal peace, and their pennies 
have as yet failed to appease the insatiable appetites of the sand lions of the Beach 
sculptors. The ponies, the wading in the edge of the Ocean, the paddling in the shallow 
pools and the search for rare shells and the coy and reluctant clam — all these and many 
other diversions entertain the children when not engaged in a wild scamper before the 
pursuing line of foam. Atlantic City is at all times of the year THE place for children. 

The water supply of Atlantic City comes from twenty-one artesian wells and an auxiliary lake in the midst of an 
inland sandy forest far from civilization. Numerous tests prove that its high quality never varies. The waters are of 
unusual purity, very soft and with no indication of pollution. The total dissolved solids 
are equivalent to less than two (2) grains per United States gallon in the pool water and 
less than three (3) grains per United States gallon for the artesian water, figures that are 
as low as some distilled waters now sold for drinking purposes. Through a perfect system 
extending under the entire city the sewerage is pumped several miles out on the meadows, where disposal takes place. 

As a place for convalescents Atlantic City has no equal. The pure salt air, miles of Boardwalk along the water's edge, 
rides in the rolling chairs, and good hotels, many of which have their special diet-kitchen 
where tempting dishes are prepared especially for individual needs, are some of the features 
that help to make recovery rapid and pleasant. Excellent doctors of all schools, many of 
them specialists, are residents. The Atlantic City Hospital is modern and well equipped. 

Atlantic City is the leading Convention City of the Country. In addition to being near to New York, Philadel- 
phia, Baltimore and Washington, it has excellent train connections with all parts of the 
country. It has meeting places accessible to steam, electricity, gas and water. It has 
everything that goes with a large city except great manufacturing establishments and similar 
commercial interests. On this account it is a neutral point. No large or small city feels 

jealous of Atlantic City, which is each year becoming more widely known as the ideal meeting place of every important 

organization.

The unique location, the remarkable climatic conditions, the magnificent hotels, the convenient cottages, the
